yes that is the point

smf fixed the rc system without the need to break logging, replace init, set up a system dbus etc etc
how can you avoid replacing init in this when it has the exclusive privilege of adopting orphaned processes (e: and therefore detecting their termination 100% reliably)

It's more noble than being a UNIX cj which is only a bit more noble than windows janitorial services.

the solaris equivalent of cgroups, "process contracts," takes care of this

so you're saying that instead of using the existing PID 1 orphaned process reaping functionality of the Linux kernel, systemd should have implemented an entirely new orphaned process reaping system in the Linux kernel

not really, it has a "this group is now empty" notification, but not a "the one PID that actually matters because it is the master server process and not just some worker has died" notification

systemd + linux are a system, they were designed together. systemd is not portable. there have already been kernel patches only for systemd.

so yeah i expect them to have consciously designed the thing, not just hack around however it currently works

Though not at amazon, I mean everything has been virtualized but they take a Douglas Adams approach to os obselescence. They announce a date on a mailing list that you're supposed to just know about and any system running an old os after that just gets shut off by ops, unless it has a special dispensation. I guess that's why they're not running the os they started with (hpux)

They handle just p much every aspect of IT policy this way, only os upgrades involve summary shutoff, otherwise you're just told when you go to scale your systems that you can't have that anymore

Look at thos fuking UPS pilot clowns. Pilot? more like Long haul truckers of the sky.

last place I worked was a consultancy with profit sharing that enabled me to earn an ungodly amount of money. We took turns cleaning the office restroom and one guy had the messiest shits. Who cares if you are scrubbing the poo poo off a toilet or the poo poo bits off a server as long as you make enough to let you do what you want outside of work.

KDE does not currently provide binary downloads for Mac OSX. Instead you need to build KDE software for yourself from source. The easiest way to do this is to use one of the Mac build systems which will automatically resolve all the dependencies for you. Unfortunately, this can be a very long process, taking up to 2 or more days. As at December 2012 MacPorts is currently recommended as it is the most up-to-date.

i recommend you build your own desktop environment by picking a good window manager like fvwm2 or openbox and then adding things like a panel and applets to taste (xfce's panel is quite good). tie it all together with a simple ~/.xinitrc and you're set!

both of these are piss garbage (but KDE is better because despite being a janky neon collection of sperg bait, it's at least usable). Mate and XFCE are relatively stable and are designed for mouse and keyboard use, not some fictional linux tablet that will never exist, use one of those.
